June 2020 Challenge Badges - New function in Garmin Connect?

Challenge Badges? Is this a new function from Garmin?
Yesterday Garmin published new badge data with some interesting data. The badges are not public yet so we don't now what it really means, but we can always speculate :-)

Ordinary badges got two data fields:
"title" and "description"
These six new badges got two extra fields:
"challenge rule description" and "challenge rules summary"

Since the description has the text "Join" it might imply that you need to join to be a part of it. Garmin already got the Challenges function so this would fit good in there with the added fields for rules.

Since it start in June we will very soon find out.

June will be a busy month if you like to get all badges.

June
1-30: Run 100 miles - 3.33 miles/day = 5.36 km/day
5-7: Walk 3 miles in a single activity (4.83 km)
8-14: Bike 100 km (62.1 miles) in 7 days
12-14: Run 10 km in a single activity
15-28: Take 150.000 steps in 14 days
19-21: Bike 40 km (24.86 miles) in a single activity

The running and steps can be combined and if you focus most of your running activity to June 12-28 you will get three of them easier (run 100 miles, run 10 km and take 150.000 steps). One step is about 1 meter.

Dance Fitness has arrived

Image
Five new badges are here. Garmin accidentally added them in September but they were quickly removed. In September there were 13 badges so we will probably soon see even more badges added. Garmin has added a new activity type "Dance Fitness" in the Gym & Fitness Equipment category so you can switch to that for all your dance fitness activities. I don't see the new type in Garmin Connect app on Android so it will need to come in an update. In the web it is already there. To add songs for the Mixtape badge you press the lap button. Each lap will add another song. Until we get Dance Fitness on the watches you can log with Cardio and press lap for each song. After save and sync you switch activity type in Garmin Connect to Dance Fitness. Garmin Badge Database Garmin Connect Change country setting
